Today’s Parola del Giorno is the noun la lenticchia (le lenticchie), which means lentil(s). Lentils are a popular food to eat at New Years as a way of signaling financial prosperity for the New Year — if you want to be prosperous in 2010, make sure you have a serving before the start of the new year! See the word used in its context below:

Mamma prepara le lenticchie per il cenone di capodanno per augurarci maggior ricchezza e prosperità nel 2010.
